Invited speakers Ian Livingstone, Bernie DeKoven, Nicola Whitton and Sebastian Deterding will each present a different perspective on the issue and then engage in hands-on design workshops, as to provide participants with the tools to build their own answers

<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">
- What can play contribute to a "serious" learning environment?</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">
- Can play survive the increasing pressures students and staff are subjected to?</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">
- Is there the risk that play becomes "just another tool"?</div>
